According to an army spokesperson, the army headquarters is looking into how more than 200,000 liters of fuel vanished from its Ordnance Materiel Rebuild Center in Saraburi province last year.
A special army audit team suspected abnormalities in the use of oil at an army unit in the province of Saraburi and reported the discovery to the army headquarters, according to Maj Gen Sirichan Ngathong, the army’s deputy spokeswoman.
She claimed that a probe committee had not yet finished its examination into the situation after the army leadership demanded more investigation.
According to the spokesperson, the army regularly sends out internal audit teams to inspect vital supplies including oil, explosives, weapons, and ammunition at army units across the country.
Recent sources state that last year, 215,897 liters of B7 high-speed diesel mysteriously vanished from the Ordnance Materiel Rebuild Center’s storage facility in Saraburi’s 18th Military Circle.
In May of this year, the army headquarters was informed of the discovery, and in June, the headquarters requested additional research.
